While searching for a nice place to eat pan mee (flat flour noodle), I came across Jojo Little Kitchen which received positive reviews across numerous food blogs.

There were a variety of pan mee served at Jojo Little Kitchen. I ordered the dry pork pan mee (RM 6.50) which came with strips of black fungus, fried anchovies, minced pork, sweet leaves and fried shallots.

The appeal of pan mee lies with the smooth noodle mixed with the crunchiness of anchovies with the savory taste of mince pork.

Once all the ingredients were mixed up with the noodle, a bowl of delicious pan mee was waiting for me to feast on.

While not the best I have tasted, it was certainly good enough to warrant a second visit.

The traditional soup pan mee (RM 6.00) was equally good.

The soup was rich with pork taste which I believe was prepared differently compared to the usual pan mee soup which is cooked primarily with anchovies.

The noodles were springy, the pork was also sweet but the serving was a slightly small.

Overall, I was satisfied with the quality of food at Jojo Little Kitchen. Although comparatively more expensive than coffee shops, the quick service and air-conditioned environment do make up for the steeper price to pay for the food at Jojo Little Kitchen.

When I first heard about a famous fried pan mee stall at Jalan Sepadu, I knew I had to give it a try. Pan mee or flat flour noodle are commonly prepared with soup or ‘kon lou’ (dry) style version. So how does fried pan mee taste like?

A small plate of fried pan mee costs RM 5.00 each while a slightly larger service costs RM 1 extra.

The fried pan mee looks a lot like hokkien mee and taste almost the same too.

The only exception is the texture of the noodle which is flatter and springy.

To be honest, I enjoyed eating it a lot. It was moist, has the right amount of dark soya sauce taste.

If you fancy pan mee with a twist in its style of cooking, then give this place a try. I was told that the stall is actually more famous for its loh mee. Well, there is always a next time….

When I first heard about Loh Pan Mee at Paramount Garden Restaurant, I was quite skeptical as to how it would turned out to be. You see, most people including yours truly are accustomed to the normal Pan Mee version which comes in either soup based or dry (Kon Lou) style. But when Pan Mee is cooked with thick brown gravy, ala Loh Mee style, I just had to see how it would taste like.

Beside the Loh Mee style, I was also surprised to hear that the Pan Mee at Paramount Garden Restaurant comes in two variants, namely the normal version or the Spinach Pan Mee. The spinach Pan Mee can be easily identified with its green texture. The waiter recommended me to mix both type of noodles.

The Loh Pan Mee (RM 4.80 for medium size) doesn’t have the usual ingredients such as anchovies, black fungus or mushroom. Instead, those stuff are substituted with prawns, pork and fried foo chuk.

You can clearly see the combination of normal and spinach based noodle by its colour. Overall, the taste was acceptable although I still prefer the traditional Pan Mee.

And speaking of that, their normal Pan Mee (RM 4.30 for small) was pretty tasty.

Dried anchovies, minced pork, black fungus and mushrooms and vegetables all adds up to a delicious bowl of noodle.

Regardless of the many variants of Pan Mee nowadays, I still believe that the traditional one is the best, hands down.

Overall, I would say that the Paramount Garden is a worthwhile place to go for Pan Mee. This restaurant is usually packed during lunch hours. Go there early if you want to find a seat.

I have heard my friends talking about a famous Pan Mee shop at Taman Sri Sentosa a while ago. After doing some Internet browsing, I found out that this shop is also dubbed as “The elusive Pan Mee stall No. 28″. True to its name, it took me quite a while to locate this shop even when I was using Google Map while driving. However, my persistency paid off when I managed to spot this place after a few wrong turns.

Luckily there weren’t much customers by the time I arrived there. I ordered the big bowl of Pan Mee which costs RM 6.

While I am not too sure why it is named as ‘Kung Fu Pan Mee’, I supposed their noodles are skillfully made (hence the word Kung Fu) resulting in a surprisingly smooth texture.

And yes, it does taste very good. If I had to come up with a word to describe it, I would say ‘Original’ as the taste somewhat reminded me of how a good traditional bowl of Pan Mee supposed to be cooked.

The usual ingredients such as pork, fungus, black mushrooms, fried anchovies and potato leaves were there.

The noodle are longer than the usual Pan Mee shop elsewhere.

If I had to choose, I would say that this is one of the best Pan Mee stall I had been so far.

Fancy eating some delicious Pan Mee? Then head on down to Fancy Mee Corner (pun intended) at Glenmarie. Situated just next to Meng Kee Char Siew, this shop is usually crowded during lunch hour. Hence, I made a wise choice to stop by there for dinner instead as the restaurant was relatively empty during those hours.

Anyway, Fancy Mee Corner is famous for their variety of Pan Mee such as Fish Cakes Pan Mee, Curry Pan Mee, Mince Pork Pan Mee and etc. But for those who prefer the good old traditional Pan Mee, then ‘Mum’s Pan Mee Soup’ would be the obvious choice.

And how was the taste? Basically, it was how a good bowl of Pan Mee supposed to taste like. The usual ingredients such as mushrooms, fried anchovies, mine pork, fungus were included as well.

The Mince Pork Pan Mee was a welcome change for my taste bud. What makes this bowl of noodle so special was the fried fish cakes. As you can see, these fish cakes were nicely fried till golden brown. They were pretty crunchy too.

Once the minced pork sauce is mixed with the noodle, it sure looks appetizing.

If you are a Pan Mee lover (and even if you are not), do give this restaurant a try. As for me, I find their noodle to be quite tasty.

I had a nice lunch with my colleagues at Kum Chuan coffee shop today. Situated near to 3K Sports Complex, this restaurant is usually packed with customers during noon. I was told that the Pan Mee stall here is pretty good and hence, I ordered a bowl to try.

While waiting for the noodle to arrive, I noticed that there were many customers eating Penang Fruit Rojak. Not wanting to be left out, I decided to order a small plate of Rojak as well. What makes this rojak different from the usual ones is the inclusion of dried cuttlefish to give a sweet and salty taste to the dish. I must say, at RM 4 per plate it was something different and definitely worth a try!

The Pan Mee (RM4.30) came shortly after that. There ingredients consists of mince pork, fried anchovies, vegetables and black fungus.

The noodle has a springy texture while the soup was free from MSG flavouring. This is one of the better Pan Mee I have tried so far.

Although the restaurant can be quite hot in the afternoon, the cheap food makes it all worthwhile.

Since my office is nearby Ara Damansara, I tend to frequent this place quite often for lunch. One of my favourite meal is this ‘pan mee’ or flat flour noodle at Restoran Ming Yang located at the back of NZX (Niuzexui) Commercial Centre. What makes this noodle so nice is the ‘springy’ texture of its thin noodle.

I prefer the dry version of pan mee rather than the soup. So what is important is the black seasoning sauce they use to mix the noodle with. I am glad to say that the taste is just right without being overly salty nor bland.

The anchovies and fried brown garlic gives this dish the extra ‘zing’.

At RM 4.50 per plate, I would say that the portion is quite big since I usually order extra noodle. What’s more, the soup contains a lot of vegetables and fish meat.
